She spreads her philosophy with books and speaking engagements across the country. Her five major factors in living the good life with energy and productivity are simply:

• Protect your health, at all costs. Health is your number one asset.
• Avoid the ruts. Sameness is aging.
• Dispel the myths of aging. They're a waste of time
• Keep a positive attitude. It's the only sane decision you can make.
• Keep your dreams alive. Set goals. Stay out of the past.

With longevity increasing and old age coming later and later, it's getting harder and harder to say for certain how old one has to be, to be old. Worrying and being negative about aging is a complete waste of time.

The goal for all of us is a life of productivity, fun good health and laughter.

And from an email we just received...thank you, Scott!

Thanks for your wonderful website! I was truly inspired. I know it sounds silly, but I have been feeling bad about myself, because at 42 years, I have felt old and irrelevant in this youth obsessed culture.  Reading your website really help me alleviate that! (BH)

God bless you
